A game where you bring part of your own life into the game and then fictionalize it. You play yourself at a seance trying to connect to the spirit of a dead friend with whom you still have issues. The spirits are fictional versions of living people you know, and with whom you have a problematic relationship.

Bring reality into your game, and perhaps game into your reality.

Players: 3 or more
System: Rough Consensus

Welcome, oh Seeker of the Dead
This game is about relationships – dysfunctional relationships. We will each bring one problematic relationship from our lives into the game, and in game it will be transformed into a fictional relationship to a spirit.

We will perhaps be able to resolve the issues of the relationships by contacting the spirits at a séance. Hopefully reliving the past and speaking to the dead will help us resolve our issues with the once living. Time will tell.

Before we begin let me first summarize the game we’re about to play. Then I’ll go into more detail about how you do specific parts of the game, and finally we’ll have time for an example and some
advice.
